This is a clip from some Steve Allen Show or other. In the forties or fifties, any comedian who utilized music in his act was legally required to savage the tune, "Cocktails For Two" at some point. Here, we see one of the milder (but still fun) maulings of the song, introduced by Mr. Allen and featuring Jo Stafford, Tony Randall, Don Knotts, Pat Harrington Jr, Louis Nye and Gabe Dell. Ms. Stafford had a nice career as a top female vocalist under her own name and also released a series of parody albums which she recorded with her husband, Paul Weston. In them, they assumed the identities of Darlene and Jonathan Edwards, singing and playing outrageously off-key. In this clip, Ms. Stafford seems to be forgetting she's supposed to sound like Jo and not Darlene…
